Gold prices rose to their highest level in more than four months as many investors sought a safe haven amid uncertainty over US President Donald Trump's trade tariffs. This rise was also supported by speculation that the Federal Reserve (The Fed) would cut interest rates in September. Furthermore, the US dollar weakened, making gold a more attractive investment option. Spot gold prices are currently near the record high reached in late April.
Uncertainty intensified after a court declared the trade tariffs illegal, although they remain in effect until October while Trump plans to appeal. Meanwhile, the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 0.25% this month to address the risk of persistently high inflation and economic pressures.
However, the Fed has not yet given full certainty due to concerns about persistently declining inflation. All of these factors have kept gold prices rising and making them a popular safe-haven investment.
